TREE CULTURE.

The American Forestry congress will
hold its annual meeting this year at
Springfield, Ill.,, September IA, Is and 16.
Among the principal subjects which have
been suggested for consideration are the
following:
1. Necessity Of change Of policy on the part
Of the general government in regard to its timber
domain.
2 Effects and results Of forest legislation in
the different states.
8. Suggestions in regard to desirable forest
legislation.
4. Status of artificial forest planting in the
prairie states, and suggestions in regard to the
same.
5. Methods of charging the effectiveness Of
the work of the forestry congress.
It will be seen that this is pretty
broad skedule, and will admit of wide
discussion.
The objects and purposes sought to be
accomplished by the association deserve
earnest commentator. So much has
been said in recent years about the folly
of the forest slaughter that has long
been going on in the United States, that
most people have some idea of the i'm
portance of saving the trees that remain
and of increasing the number by addi-
tional planting. Several states have
taken legislative action on the subject
and vast deal has already been accom-
plished in the way of practical results.
But much more remains to be done.
The forest area of the country is now
stated to be Less than 500, OOO, 900 acres,
and the annual timber consumption is
over 10000, 100000 cubic feet. This
means that if our present wasteful meth
DDS continue the timber supply will be
exhausted before new crop can be
grown. But this is not the only bad
feature of the case. The obstruction of
the forests is exerting an unfavorable in
fluence upon rainfall, water supplies and
soil conditions.

THE FALL BOOM.

IF there is house or an acre OF
ground in southern Illinois, says the Ar
kansas City Republican Traveller that is
not for sale, representative of this pa
per who has just returned from there,
failed to7hear of it. Everybodys eyes
are turned towards Kansas and they
never grow weary listening to the re-
ports of our wonderful crops and unpar-
alleled growth and prosperity.
.'Of course they want to come to the
land of freedom and of wheat, where
corn is king, where with tickling with
the hoe the fields laugh with harvests,
where land is cheap and where the adj
yantages OF schools and churches and
railroads and thriving cities are to be
had
The TINES editor has conversed with
a number of people from various parts of
the country, during the past two or three
weeks and he learns that there will be
considerable immigration to western
Kansas this fall

was costing him only one dollar bottle;
then he wilted. Even manufacturers
are sold. Once at q convention of the
beer brewers of the country heard a
brewer boast that he could name any
kind of beer with his eyes blinded. We
tried him, and when the handkerchief
was over his eyes we gave him nine sips
out of the same glass and heard him
name nine different brands. That was
very good sport. As a matter of fact,
this telling liquors by the taste is very
delicate business. By modern processes
distillers can age liquors so as to fool
even the old timers. The worst case
ever struck was fisherman who rowed
me down the river last summer. l offer
ed him a swig out of bottle containing
some very fine whisky. He returned it
saying it was very poor stuff. l handed
him bottle containing some rot gut !
used to clean out my gun. He took a
long pull, and said it was as good liquor
as he ever tasted. Buffalo Courier.

A GLOOM DISPELLED.

The Ford People were as much anxious
as the Dodge people about the Arkansas,
Kansas & Colorado Railroad, but now
these glooms are dispelled. The Gazette
says:
The doubts and anxieties of the past
week in railroad matters have been many,
but they were all nicely cleared away on
Wednesday. During the afternoon of
that day reliable information was receiv-
ed that the bonds of the A. X. s. C. had
been negotiated. 1t appears that on this
point the whole trouble of delay hinged.
We believe the company expected at the
time the bonds were voted that work
would be commenced in short time, but
the stringency of the money market pre-
vented them from commencing opera
tions at that time. And from what we
have been able to learn, the company
was remarkably lucky in making the ne
gotiation, when it is known that money
commands from fourth to third more
interest than 1t did three months ago,
making it nearly impossible to get loans
on good land. Then Mr.. Hill, Wednes-
day night, received letter from head
quarters that everything was ready.
This he informed +. B. Lillard and 9TH
ers. Also, that the permanent surveyors
will be along in day or two setting the
grade stakes, and that dirt would be fly
ing not later than Wednesday or Thurs
day of next week. The clouds have
passed away and Ford has come out into
the sunshine, doubts and fears having
forever vanished.

The Hartland Times says: 1T is re-
ported that the farmers of Ohio are al
most unit in wanting to come to Kan
sas So great is the disposition to sell
that there are no buyers. In some of the
large cities real estate syndicates have
been formed to buy land in Kansas ard
exchange it for Ohio farms. This passage
of land into large corporations makes it
evon less desirable for small holders to
remain. Kansas has great numbers of
Buckeyes now, and will welcome few
thousand more"

IMPORTANCE OF NEwSPAPERs.-The

their newspapers and show a poor appre-

What would North Carolina be without a
newspaper of any kind? 1t would get all
the horrors and crimes from the New York
papers, it is true, but the great home in
terests would be neglected and paralyzed
to great extent, while the copious State
news would be unheard of and unknown.

per: newspapers are worth more to a
town, more to the merchants and more tC

source of general information concerning
the town and county in which they are pub
lished, and the source of reference as tt
what the business men of the town are do
ing. The town derives more benefit from

ROWLAND'S MILL.
An Important Industrial Enterprise.

The GOLD LEAF feels a deep and
abiding interest in all classes of indus
trial enterprises in our midst. Every
mill, factory and workshop it desires
to see succeed and prosper. Acting
upon the impulse to see and know
more Of what was being done at Mr.
Geo. H. Rowland's mill, some two
miles from town, we rode out there a
few days ago, and it required but a
casual observation to see that marked
| Improvements have been made since
the property came into the possession
of the present owner.
We suppose there is not a mill in
the country that is known further than
this. Built originally away back in
the ffties, it was burned about 1871
and rebuilt a short while afterward
The walls are of stone and the build
ing three stories high. 1t is an excel
lent piece of masonry and looks as il
it might resist the influence of the
blighting frosts of time for centuries
yet to come.
In 1872 Mr.. Horace H. Rowland
bought the property and operated it
up to 1885, when he sold it to Mr..
Geo. H. Rowland, the present owner
At that time new repairs were needed
the mill run down, and to very many
people it did not look like altogether
desirable piece of property. But Mr..
Rowland was determined to make it
such, and most admirably has he sue
ceeded. This he did by putting him
self IN position to merit patronage by
being prepared to properly and salts
factorily accommodate it. The mills
were thoroughly overhauled and put
in perfect repair, new additions and
improvements made, and in fact,
everything fixed up in modern style.
There are four runners and a Crusher,
two corn mills, one wheat mill and
one feed or hominy mill to which is
attached the crusher In this whole
ears of corn are put and they are soon
reduced to proper condition for the
runners. The cob is broken up in
small pieces, somewhat larger than a
grain of corn, and then corn and cob
together pass through the mill. 1t
can be ground as fine as meal or into
coarse hominy as desired. AS a feed
for stock this is most excellent, and
the economy of it can readily be seen.
The wheat mill is fitted up with all
the necessary boiling apparatus and a
good grade of -four can be turned out.
Its capacity is ample to meet the de-
mands of this section. The corn
mills grind about 200 bushels a day.
They can be forced up to $50 bushels
each and make good meal. A novel
arrangement is the bolter, which is
simply a fine sitter attached to the
running gear, through which the meal
passes as it runs from the mill. This
may be used or not at pleasure.
The mill is in charge Of a compe-
tent and experienced man and the ex-
cellence of the product sent out is
known far and near. The superiority
of water ground meal is we'll known
1t may be ground fine without grind
ing the life out of it as is the case with
the steam mill. So great is the de
mand for " Rowlard's NEAL that il
requires about 500 bushels a week tc
supply the local trade, besides the reg,
ular toll custom. Mr.. Rowland ex.
poets to use 10000 bushels of corr
this year and is now negotiating fol
large quantities.
